I mean the ball literally hits his glove and not the ground. I get that the play was incomplete on the field, but that was very clearly a catch

I mean objectively they did. The non-call face mask on Gabe in the ez more than likely leads to 7 instead of 3 and the non-call blatant slide tackle/tripping on Kincaid cost another 3. So thats 7 points right there, enough to win the game. Not to mention multiple other points in the game where questionable calls impacted the game

You clearly haven't read my other posts. Why would I want a team that has put everything about what they plan on doing on tape in week 10, how stupid are you to think that the goal is to be the best team in week 10.

I'm glad that the Bills are still forming their identity now. They aren't playing for week 18 they're playing for week 23, or whatever the superbowl is. Nobody cares what your regular season record is when you win the Superbowl.

We're all woke down here

Are we talking 1st, or 2nd half, or overall? +/- 115 total would be my guess I could be way off though. Depends how the game goes. Depends how the Bills play

Jesus, I was wrong @Orlando Tim this guy is CLEARLY the problem

Maybe you're the problem, bud

There should really be a 'meh' emoji... it's just I sort of dislike it but it's not a bad response

You know, if ever there was a change to be to made a heart emoji would suffice Has you're mom ever positively contributed to the forum/community?

I mean havent we as fans, moved past the drought. Things happen in the NFL and it's not exclusive to the Bills. I just think if we're truly as highly regarded as we say/think we are then a term like "Billsy" is a slap in the face to fans. Why would I want to support a team I, and others, think is "Billsy"?

Yes

Nah man, we gotta call the mafia..

Awesome?

That's just how the NFL is though, the close games like that are a part of the parity in the league. It's just the nature of the beast and not a trait that espouses the failures of a singular franchise. And man, being a Jets fan would suck, especially this year. You think you might have a solution at qb, Sanchez, Darnold, Wilson, they all suck, and then you go out and get a proven winner, Rodgers, and he blows his Achilles like 5 plays into the season. At least they have a defense that might carry them out of a good pick this year lol

I don't hate it. Except then would it be an endearing term. Like the B***** thing to do is win the superbowl.

That's a good point, but how many times did it come up when Brady was playing? I understand it, I just think that a community of adults shouldn't use the term like a bunch of children, when things go a little haywire. It's like you said. All fans, to some extent do this, but as "the best fans" in football shouldn't we as a collective hold ourselves to a higher standard. Than lamenting past failures and looking for any shred of correlation between now and then

Exactly! A game where there's 'essentially' no Bills relevance this term is used to describe what exactly? Please, explain how/why you use(d) it? My feelings are irrelevant in this discussion. This a term that's used almost explicitly in a DEROGATORY manner to describe the Bills on a Bills forum. Why should that be allowed?

I'm here today to make a formal request to the incredible mod team here on Two Bills Drive. I'm sick and tired of fans on this forum using the term "Billsy" as a disingenuous way to compare anything regarding NFL teams, in particular our beloved Bills, to the way the Bills have performed in the past. I find that this term is childish, pedantic, and frankly detrimental to the Bills organization as a whole. I would whole heartedly support the censoring of this term as many other words are censored on these boards. Admittedly, I'm probably in the minority here, so I propose, we have a community-wide vote and the results stand.

I'm glad that I never have to watch a Bills QB throw like that. Tua's had a few that bad this game

Seriously. An impressive heads up play

That's certainly a valid point and it's not time to panic because they're still in a playoff position. If management essentially "resigned" themselves to playing an extra game, potentially away, then why not. I mean realistically the team probably plays better away from the elements in January. What if they said that wherever they finish is fine since they have so much faith in the team to put it all together and win 4 games in a row at the end of the year, regardless of venue. They say seeds 1-7 are all (comparably) valuable because they're all going to the dance. 1 stands above the rest with the bye and 2-7 carry similar weight since it's the same number of games.. the travel and fans might be an impact but otherwise it's nothing when it could be in a dome or nice weather somewhere away from Buffalo.

I mean the Bills could pull out all the stops against the Pats or they could save the sauce for the upcoming stretch. Why would you put plays on tape for the Chiefs, Bengals, Eagles, etc. When the team is capable of winning games with a gameplan designed to "fail forward". Which, in essence, is about working different concepts in order that the offense can do more later in the season when the games mean more and the stakes are higher. Despite what many on here believe, these guys at the top are all incredibly smart. And to say that there aren't varying levels of long and short term strategies that teams implement (across games, months, a season, longer) is asinine.

If the 2008 Giants can win against the Patriots, it's fair to say that as long as you're in can make some magic happen. The Bills have battled it out for the 1st seed the past few years and maybe they collectively took a less aggressive approach to stacking and are focusing on implementing different gameplans in order to be able to attack and control the game in different ways. The players know this and are only working specific sets, formations, and plays. Late in the year, being multiple and having the ability to shift gears, so to speak, allows you to take a varied and stratecally beneficial approach to in game situations. (I.e the Bills have the ball with 7 minutes left to go in the game, they can run a 7 minute drive to win. Or 4 minutes. Maybe your defense gets a turn over and you want to attack now. Or slow ball it to get the defense recovered after a long opposing drive)

I honestly considered looking it up but I didn't want @BillnutinHouston to think I cared enough for that. Contextually it's actually pretty hilarious..
